Chapter 2. Day 4.
May the 4th be with you.

The last chapter wrapped up with me dropping the ball on daily entries and daily writing. But it was not an utter fail.

Progress was made. Things were learned. Discoveries were made. I felt good.

My 7-day liquid diet was just what I needed. ...

I've started a fun little project. While I've seen other worm farmers collect and hatch cocoons (basically worm eggs but they hold more than one worm, typically), I've never done this.

However, there were so many in my recent harvest of castings I couldn't help but pick them out.

Chapter 1. Day 20.

Okay so technically it's passed midnight, my personal deadline for daily posts/entries. However, tonight I'm still up and this still counts! 😆

This is day 6 of my liquid diet. If I called it a fast before I'm sorry, I was wrong. It's fair to say it's something of a cleanse...

Chapter 1. Day 19.

My goodness, my last entry was 5 days ago!

Today marks the 5th day of my liquid fast. And I swear every day I've THOUGHT about creating an entry. Then I overthink just when I should post. That overthinking results in nothing happening!

So when going forward...

Chapter 1. Day 14.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate.

Jesus was all about love and kindness to each other. Those are things I think we should all get behind.

Let us fill our baskets with goodness and faith, and spread them like seeds. Let's put our faith to work.

Chapter 1. Day 13.

I might be missing every other day here but I'm doing pretty good at keeping up with (near) daily novel work.

I'm slogging my way through a messy and unfinished chapter. But heck, don't we all at some point?

Chapter 1. Day 11.

Lord, I missed Day 10.

Consistency is not for the weak! 🤔😄

With the help of my sister-in-law as accountabilibuddy I'm trying to write/work on my novel daily. This IS what I should be doing and want to do. But dang, I understand better why this has been a fleeting goal...

Chapter 1. Day 9.

I missed another day, yesterday. But I was there, I was present.

I was present too when I received good news. 🙏 Thank you Lord for your goodness and providing me some peace of mind.

And then God reminded me that humans made cellphones...

Chapter 1. Day 7.

Thank you self for bringing yoga back into the picture.

My intention for today's class was: clearing.

The Universe wants you to like, subscribe, and share.

Chapter 1. Day 6.

Just finished my first online yoga class in, gosh, at least a year.

I feel good, really good.

It was really challenging in ways because I'm out of shape and practice, and overweight.

But it was brilliant in many other ways. In my breath. In my body. In the peace in my mind.

Chapter 1. Day 5.

Missed Day 4 because I overthought it instead of following the motivation that spoke to me in the morning.

I guess today I feel inclined to say, follow the signs, hear the messages. They're always there trying to be seen like a social media post.

Chapter 1. Day 3.

Today was moving day. Literally. Physically.

I'm 185 lbs, which for me is 40 lbs overweight. My cholesterol has been on the rise for the last two years and for the first time they told me I had high blood pressure.

That wasn't today. But the pressure is still high in my mind.

Chapter 1. Day 2.

Yesterday fell flat... on my face.

It wasn't a fail, there's much to rejoice in. But I could have pushed harder.

So today, I take that lesson and make a lesson sandwich.

Don't give up on that motivation that seems to have fallen flat. It's still there...

Day 1: Begin Again

Never be afraid to begin again.

We intimidate ourselves with the idea of fear. What do other people think of me once again trying to get it right? Do they laugh or doubt I'll do anything different? What do I think of me "trying" again.

Perhaps...

Tomorrow, 7 April 2025, will mark the beginning of my new journey to a better me.

I know that's a cliche to say "better me", but there's no better way to say it.

I use the @bestselfjournal.bsky.social Journal and Planner. And the other day I read a prompt that asked ...

Now is as good a time as any to grow your own fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers.

And not out of fear. But rather, grow your own because you can and because doing so puts you in control of your food quality and pure goodness!

I finally shared a bit of my novel with my sister-in-law, who is also a writer.

It was a little scary at first but what came to be was 6 hours of talking about the magic we writers channel if only we allow it to happen.

Cheers to letting the magic be what it can be.

Just yesterday I was listening to Geeky Girls Journal on YouTube. She was talking about fear among other things. She brought up the idea of fear of failure which is often coupled with fear of success. She said she's not afraid to be successful. Rather it's the fear of not living up to that success.

Days 2 & 3 of Reflections

The author and Podcaster Murr Lafferty did a podcasts about writers and Tigers. She talked about how tigers don't ask themselves how to be a tiger, they just DO tiger.

In 2024 I learned how to just DO what Elpy does.

Although the bald eagle is used on the country’s official seals on everything from passports to currency, it was never designated the national bird. The National Eagle Center in Wabasha, Minn., sought to change that and was behind the push to get lawmakers to correct what it viewed as an oversight.

To My Fellow Writers and Artists:

Use the holidays to people watch.

Use your people watching observations to help you build your characters, their behavior, interactions, etc.

P.S. People train AI on other people's work. Don't be artificial, train yourself.
You are your work.
